Presentation:

I’m an enthusiastic and experience nurse who loves to take care of others specially adults and elderly. Expert in compassionate communication, meticulous monitoring and record keeping. I’m kind, dedicated and well qualified offering proven skills in patient care, medication administration and treatment implementation.

Since the beginning of my career, while working in a respiratory ward and in an intensive care unit, my role was to provide direct care to people of all ages with different health and social care needs, assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating the nursing career specific to each situation. 

Also took care of terminal ill patients providing chronic pain relief and comfort in sickness adjusting the correct analgesia and support needed to patients and their family and friends.

I work closely with doctors, physiotherapists, social workers, occupational therapists and I understand very well the needs of team work and importance of all team members.

My work in acute setting gives me advantage to work with people with specific nursing needs like respiratory patients, dialysis patients, terminally ill and also perform common nursing techniques like injections, wound dressings, intravenous or intramuscular therapies, NG and PEG feeding and others. 

I am dedicated to continuous improvement and development of my skills, always aiming to be informed of the latest guidelines and procedures and always being committed to a continuous learning. I am proud to be a quick learner, with a positive mind, attentive to small details and proud of my path so far, I am able to perform what is asked by clients with maximum quality and professionalism.
